3D Printing for
MOUNTS, SUPPORTS & MECHANICAL ASSEMBLIES

Additive Manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, has advanced in the past decade beyond its prototyping roots. Additive Manufacturing is establishing a strong position as an alternative manufacturing process for complex shapes produced in limited quantities. Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is one of the most commonly used Additive Manufacturing technologies to produce end use products. Typical applications include pneumatic assemblies, hydraulic assemblies, enclosures & custom mounts. The SLS process can provide custom, highly complex pieces in a short lead time. For applications which require short turnaround time, flexibility to modify designs and complexity of design, 3D printing is an ideal solution.

When designing a mount, support of mechanical assembly, the SLS process offers many advantages

Preassembled parts such as built in hinges, imbedded springs and moving parts can be incorporated

Large number of SKU’s can be achieved since no molds or casts are required
